Step 1: Casual PlaythroughI mean casual in the most literal form. Pick up skill points here and there, and buy as many weapons as you can but don't worry about any of that yet. Try to level up a few weapons to level 10 before the end of the playthrough. Also try to complete all of the challenges in this playthrough, so you'll have an easier time in the next step.

Step 2: Challenge Mode + Skill Point Clean-UpUse this playthrough to gain bolts, weapons, skill points and levelling up weapons. Gaining bolts is so much easier in challenge mode, use them to buy weapons and use the weapons until they are level 10. Use your level 10 weapons to have an easier time getting the skill points.

Hero of Shadow SectorObtain all Ratchet: Deadlockedô trophies

The ShowstopperEarn 200,000 Dread Points

Dread Points are awarded after completing a Dread Challenge, which are unlocked by finishing the campaign missions for each planet. Some give you more points than others. You can replay dread challenges to farm the points if you wish, but you can get 200,000 before even finishing all of them anyway, so there's no point. If you complete all of the dread challenges in order, you'll get this after finishing one of the two Dread Challenges that unlock after the Vindicator tournament. All of the challenges are pretty straightforward and don't consist of much. If you are having trouble, you can always change your difficulty before loading a save.

4 the Win!Collect 4 Million Bolts

You get bolts for completing challenges and killing enemies. By the end of your first playthrough, if you've completed every challenge, you should have about a million bolts. Do note that this trophy is cumulative and you do not need to have 4,000,000 bolts on hand for this trophy. Once you finish the game, start Challenge Mode; it's here that you can really start raking in the bolts. Get your multiplier up to 20x and you should be getting 100,000 bolts in seconds. If you are having trouble getting bolts, play the challenge Endzone in the DreadZone Station with a 20x multiplier to get millions of bolts in minutes.

Perfect!?Upgrade All Weapons to Level 10

You upgraded weapons simply by getting kills with them. Killing enemies nets your weapon XP that levels up the weapon. This trophy requires you to level up all of your weapons to level 10. There is a total of 10 weapons, some better than others. Below is a list of each weapon and their cost to purchase them from a vendor.

An easy method to upgrade most weapons is this: in Challenge Mode, play and finish the Crusader tournament. This will unlock the Endzone Dread challenge. Farm XP (and bolts) in this challenge. Put the Shock Mod on whatever weapon you want to upgrade and just keep shooting the endless waves of swarmers. You'll probably be able to get to level 10 within one or two playthroughs of Endzone.

Notice how I said "most weapons" above. This is because the Holoshield Launcher SUCKS and doesn't level up much from this challenge, since it needs to block attacks and most enemies are swarmers. However, there is an easy way to level it up as well. Go to Kronos, and select Infiltrating the Cathedral. Kill all of the immediate enemies that are around the turret and get to farming. Place as many shields as you can in front of the turret, then hop in and shoot it. You'll notice that the XP meter will fill quite quickly. Keep placing the shields and shooting them until it's level 10. If you need more, just buy more ammo from the vendor at the beginning of the level.

Aiming is OverratedPurchase the Harbinger Weapon

The Harbinger is available to buy about 3/4 of the way through the game and it costs 2,000,000 bolts. I do not recommend that you save up for this during your first playthrough, instead, go for it in Challenge Mode because you can get a 20x bolt multiplier going, which can net you hundreds of thousands of bolts in seconds. If you are really desperate in Challenge Mode, keep playing the challenge Endzone in the DreadZone Station.

Maaaaaadd Skills!Earn All 165 Skill Points

Skill points have been in every Ratchet & Clank game, they are rewards/incentive to do things that you may not normally do, much like trophies. There are 15 skill points on each planet, and there are 11 planets; meaning there are 165 skill points to get. Below is a list of every skill point and how to get them.

Toggle Spoiler

Skillful:In the challenge "Grist for the Mill", kill 10 enemies in a row with the same weapon.

This is as simple as it sounds. Just start the Grist for the Mill challenge and kill the first 10 enemies with your Dual Vipers.

Fiver:In the challenge "Grist for the Mill", kill five enemies without taking any damage.

Also another easy one; you'll probably get this while going for Skillful, simply don't get hit while killing five enemies. Just unload on the group before they have a chance to hit you.

Get Some Balls:Destroy five Bladeballs in 15 seconds.

Bladeballs are the cylinders that pop out blades and spin around. You can very easily get this during the qualifiers, if you miss it, you can also easily get it in "Grist for the Mill". There are usually many more than five in a group at a time.

Ankle Biters:Kill ten Swarmers in ten seconds.

Swarmers are the small mechanical-looking dogs with chompers. During the fourth round of "Grist for the Mill", you'll get swarmed by Swarmers, just fire off your vipers and kill them all in ten seconds for an easy skill point.

The Protector:Kill five Tremors with the Magma Cannon in 20 seconds.

Tremors are the creatures with spikes on their backs that create tremors that shake the ground. There are more than enough of these during the Avenger tournament, just remember to use your Magma Cannon.

Eagle Eye:Complete any challenge with an accuracy above 75 percent.

I did this one on "The Big Sleep", but it can be done in any challenge. When you start, tap the shoot button when the cross-hair is red on an enemy to ensure that you hit them. Do this a few times, then wail on them with your wrench. Only take shots you know that you'll make, and use your wrench a lot.

Can't Touch This:Complete any challenge without taking damage.

I did this in "Grist for the Mill" with just the Magma Cannon, B6-Obliterator and the Dual Vipers. Strafe around the outside of the arena and try to keep your distance from the enemies. Let your bots get a lot of the kills while you just try to stay away from everyone. Keep a close eye on the mini-map so you know if anyone is behind you.

Speedy:Complete the challenge "Manic Speed Demon" in less than 60 seconds.

Very simple. Start the challenge and use the Magma Cannon with Freeze Mod, just blast away everyone. I did this in 33 seconds. Manic Speed Demon is the first challenge in the Avenger tournament.

Dead Again:In the challenge "Zombie Attack," kills 50 Robot Zombies.

In "Zombie Attack", you have to survive for three minutes against a zombie horde. It is hard to miss this, as I managed to get this skill with 45 seconds to spare. They come in groups of two or three, I liked to keep the Magma Cannon handy at all times as it can blow through a group in one shot. Unlocks Runaway Robots.

The Bomb:Blow up 15 barrels.

It's almost impossible to miss this when playing "Zombie Attack". Barrels are the explosive containers that you can shoot and explode enemies with.

Five in One:Kill five Swarmers in one shot.

Play "Grist For The Mill" and use the Magma Cannon, there will be multiple times when there are more than five swarmers that pop up, just get in close and shoot to hopefully kill them all.

Two in One:Use the Fusion Rifle to kill two enemies in one shot.

I was able to get this during the Avenger tournament, but it isn't hard. Just buy the Fusion Rifle, and wait for a large group to swarm you. Then, pull out the Fusion Rifle and fire, you should have killed more than two with one shot, earning this skill point.

Reactionary:Defeat Reactor in 30 seconds.

In 0:23 I was able to kill Reactor, using only the Fusion Rifle and Arbiter. It's a good idea to level these weapons up a bit (my Fusion Rifle was level 5 and Arbiter was level 3) so they can deal more damage. Equip whatever mods you feel comfortable with. Just never stop shooting and try to not miss with the Fusion Rifle or you'll lose crucial time. Unlocks Meltdown.

Eviscerator Raider:Defeat Eviscerator using only the Flail.

This is easier than you may think. When he just comes at you slashing, unload on him with the flail. Then he'll start shooting a laser beam. At this point is when you're gonna want to dodge him. Hit him when you can to make him move away and he'll repeat the process. You can be almost invincible while he is slashing at you if you just wail on him with the flail. His minions can be killed in one hit with a higher level flail, so don't worry about them too much. Unlocks Bugged Out.

Ace In The Hole:Defeat Ace Hardlight without taking any damage.

Needless to say, this is extremely difficult. When you start, throw a holoshield in front of you, this blocks his blaster shots from hitting you. Then lay into him with the Dual Vipers until he turns his shield on and spawns clones. Throw another shield in front of you, and equip the Magma Cannon to do damage to all of the clones and Ace himself. When the clones go away, go back to the Dual Vipers. He'll shoot a missile-like thing that follows you, and now is when you'll want to strafe around the arena non-stop. Take his health down with the vipers, then he'll get his clones back in. Just use the Magma Cannon to kill them all, and now use either the Dual Vipers or the Arbiter. Keep strafing around the arena and jumping Ace's blaster shots or using a shield and dodging the tracking missile. Eventually, you'll take his health down fully and unlock this skill point. Unlocks Ace Got Clubbed.

Toggle Spoiler

Piece Meal:Use the B6 Obliterator to kill 20 enemies in a row.

Start up the "Monument of Death" challenge. In front of you will be a statue with infinitely spawning zombies. Buy the B6 Obliterator, and keep shooting the zombies and, if need be, buying ammo from the vendor nearby. Once you've farmed 20 zombies you'll unlock this.

Naptime:Your Combat Bots must gain 15 kills in any challenge.

I did this when I first went to the planet. You will fight a lot of Bladeballs that your bots can kill in one or two shots. Just run around and dodge them and wait for your bots to kill them. If you're patient enough you can even let them kill the regular troops as well, but there are more than enough Bladeballs.

Crank It Up:In the challenge "On the Prowl," manually turn at least two bolt cranks.

In "On the Prowl", you need to turn three cranks at the start to activate a bridge. Al says that he's made the combat bots so that they can do it for you, but instead just go up to two of them and press . Make sure to clear out enemies that shoot at you first, but the combat bots can take care of the zombies. Once you've successfully manually cranked two bolts you'll get this.

The Perfect Mod:Kill five enemies using two different mods in 30 seconds.

This is extremely straightforward. Just equip two different mods on two different guns and kill five enemies with those guns.

All Scattered:Complete any challenge only using the Magma Cannon.

I did this while going for "I Dare Ya!" in "On the Prowl". After cranking all of the bolts, die and then equip the Magma Cannon (everything you did that wasn't objective related before you died does not matter, so you could use other weapons, die, and use the Magma Cannon and still get the skill point) and just run to the end, shooting enemies along the way. This is an easy skill point that can be done on any challenge.

Lights Out:Deploy the EMP on three turrets in any challenge.

This can only be done on "Destruction Derby", as that's the only challenge with three or more turrets. In this challenge, you're in a Landstalker. There are about five turrets, just walk up to them and hit to command your bots to EMP them.

Tough As Nails:Complete a Catacrom Graveyard mission on Exterminator Difficulty.

Super easy. Load the game and select Exterminator difficulty, then start the very first challenge on Catacrom Four "Valley of Heroes". Just spam the Harbinger until you get to the end.

I Dare Ya!:Complete any challenge without healing.

There's a simple way to do this. In "On the Prowl", crank all of the nodes. Then, die. When you respawn, the nodes will still be cranked and you'll have a clear path to the objective. Just run to the swing shot areas and swing over to the Landstalker, running past all of the enemies and without grabbing any health crates. Unlocks Rookie.

Cha Ching:Find and break five Jackpot Crates.

There are five jackpot crates in "On the Prowl", all of them are in obvious places that you'll need to pass through to complete the objectives. They look like ammo crates, but are spheres and they give you bolts.

Vandalism:Break 10 breakable objects.

Breakable objects includes health, ammo and jackpot crates. There are more than enough in "On the Prowl", just destroy the green and blue boxes on the ground.

Camera Shy:Break five hovering cameras.

There are five hovering cameras in "On the Prowl", one right in front of you as you start and one to the right of that one in the distance. There's also one above the bridge that you're trying to make (after the node cranking) and after the bridge, there's one to the left. The fifth one is at the first swing shot area.

Chase The Goose:In the challenge "Hoverbike Madness", finish checkpoint race with more than five seconds left.

You should get this no problem your first time finishing "Hoverbike Madness". Every time you pass a checkpoint, you gain a second. I was able to finish it with roughly 34 seconds to spare, far over the five second target. This race is just a standard "follow the rings" sort of deal and this is a really simple skill point.

Derby Death:In the challenge "Destruction Derby," Kill five enemies at once with the Landstalker mortars.

Another easy one. When the challenge starts, you'll see a turret that has a few soldiers around it. Destroy the turret and kill the soldiers, this will spawn swarmers. Just hold down to charge the mortars, and release when you've targeted five swarmers.

Unstoppable:Kill 25 enemies without taking any damage.

This is easy to do in "Rise Up". When you start, equip the Magma Cannon and strafe around the arena while firing at the zombies. After the zombies come the swarmers, which are very easy to kill. If you managed to not get hit, you should get this before or during the second round.

Holey Warriors:Use the Dual Vipers to kill 10 Zombies.

"On the Prowl" is very saturated with zombies. They're slow and easy to kill, you know it's a zombie if it explodes green goo after dying. Simply whip out the dual vipers and go to town on the zombies.

Toggle Spoiler

Shocking:Kill 25 enemies using the Shock Mod in 45 seconds.

Buy the Shock mod from the vender, then start "Alien Soil" and use whatever gun you put the mod on (you can add mods to your weapons in the weapons part of the menu).

Long Shot:Kill 10 enemies in 60 seconds with the Fusion Rifle.

Self-explanatory, just kill 10 enemies in 60 seconds with the Fusion Rifle. You can do this anywhere, it's best to have a high-level Fusion Rifle for this.

Mystic Warrior:Complete any challenge without taking damage.

I was able to get this on "Alien Soil" while going for "That'll Fix Em", but I don't recommend going for "That'll Fix Em" at the same time. Use the Magma Cannon and keep your distance and constantly move. Let your combat bots take out most of the enemies. This challenge is really short.

Mix and Match:Kill 10 enemies with five different mods.

To make this easier, get a few kills with a gun and a mod, then pause the game, go into the weapons menu and switch the mod on the gun. Do this four times and get kills with all the mods and you'll get this.

Beat Em Up:Kill 15 enemies with the Scorpion Flail in 30 seconds.

Buy the Scorpion Flail and start "Sarathos Sprint", then only use the flail until you have the skill point. Really simple.

The Big Bang:Kill four DZ Strikers in 1 shot.

Equip the Harbinger and start "Where the Leviathans Roam". Go to any bolt crank and shoot once when there are four DZ Strikers (the only guys with guns) in the room to kill them all. There are about four at each bolt crank area.

That'll Fix Em:Use the wrench to kill 15 enemies in a row.

Do this on "Alien Soil", and just use your wrench for the beginning, because there are only leviathans and swarmers around. Not too much to this one, just keep killing with only your wrench until this pops.

No Fly Zone:Kill four Dropships with the Arbiter.

This is easily doable in "Where the Leviathans Roam". There's one dropship in the beginning, and the rest spawn at each node.

Camera Shy:Break 15 hovering cameras.

You can easily get this in "Where the Leviathans Roam". While you're driving around and cranking nodes, there will be about 16+ hovering cameras floating around, all of them are near where you need to go and don't require much "going out of your way" for.

No Peas Allowed:Complete any challenge without using the Dual Vipers.

If you play "Where the Leviathans Roam" without exiting the vehicle and shooting with your weapons, you'll earn this at the end of the challenge.

Death From Above:In the challenge "Swamp Fever" kill two Leviathan enemies at once with the Landstalker mortars.

Pretty simple. When you start, kill the two leviathan enemies in front of you and to the right you'll see two relatively close leviathan enemies. Hold and target them both at once, then release to hit them with mortars. Keep doing this until they die and you'll get this.

Denied:Complete any challenge without using the B6-Obliterator or Magma Cannon.

If you play "Where the Leviathans Roam" without exiting the vehicle and shooting with your weapons, you'll earn this at the end of the challenge.

Don't Come Back:Use the B6-Obliterator to kill five Leviathan.

This is easy to do in "King of the Leviathans". Leviathans are the scorpion things that shoot lasers. Just use the B6-Obliterator to kill five of them.

Time To Kill:Complete the challenge "King of the Leviathans" in less than 2:00.

I was able to get 1:55 on my first try, so primarily use the Magma Cannon for the little creatures and for the boss at the end. If you run out of ammo, use the Dual Vipers until you can get more Magma Cannon ammo.

Gone In 30 Seconds:Roadkill 10 enemies in 30 seconds.

In "Where the Leviathans Roam", when you start you will drive through a pass that only has swarmers. Run over them all, then up ahead run over some soldiers for this easy skill point.

Put a Morph Mod on the Magma Cannon and go wild. Not much to this one, just shoot the enemies enough so that they turn into animals.

I used the Fusion Rifle and just ran circles around the arena. Luckily, there were ammo crates around where I was running so I wouldn't run out of ammo with the Fusion Rifle, and I was able to take him down with only that. Be careful of the missiles that Shellshock shoots and also of the bouncing mines that he throws. Unlocks Shock-King.

Jet Assist:Use the Arbiter to kill 25 enemies in 40 seconds.

I did this in "Inverted Action", just buy the Arbiter and command your bots to take care of the orb things, then wait for enemies to swarm you and shoot once to take them out. Do this until you get the skill point.

Lucky Shot:Use the Fusion Rifle to kill three DZ Strikers in one shot.

I managed to do this in "Infiltrating the Cathedral". After the first dropship, line up three enemies (there will be a large group) and just shoot. I got like five in one shot. DZ Strikers are the regular troops in this level.

Dizzy:Manually turn three of the bolt cranks in challenge "Showdown With Shellshock" yourself.

Really straightforward, there only are three cranks in three different rooms, just make sure you've cleared the room out of enemies before attempting to crank the bolt yourself.

Flying High:Kill seven enemies at once with the Hovership missiles.

This is easily done in "Night Flight", just target seven enemies with the missiles and kill them all.

Who Am I?:Keep three enemies brainwashed at once using the Brainwash Mod.

Put the brainwash mod on the Dual Vipers and shoot three swarmers once. That should do it. Do this in "Infiltrating the Cathedral".

Easily obtainable anywhere, just kill 25 enemies with the Scorpion Flail in a row.

Now It's Personal:Kill an Executioner using only your wrench.

I got this in "Infiltrating the Cathedral Part 2" on the first Executioner, granted it wasn't easy. You can do it easier on the ones in the arenas. The Executioners are the big dudes with axe-like things that shoot at you. They take quite a bit to kill, too. Just keep wailing on them with your wrench, you can also press and for a more powerful move.

Really easy to get in "Whack-A-Swarmer", find the B6-Obliterator and put the Napalm Mod on it, then go to town.

There are two Landstalkers to your right when you start. To make this easier, destroy one, and then focus on the other one with only your wrench. Use your combat bots to EMP it, then keep pressing and to destroy it before it gets a chance to shoot at you.

The Smashing Machine:Use the Flail to kill 30 enemies in a row.

This is very easy to obtain in "Robots in a Barrel". Just select the flail and only use it until you get the skill point.

Boom Stick:Use the Magma Cannon to kill 15 enemies in a row.

I got this while going for "The Run Away" in "Landstalker Stalkin'". Once you've cranked the first two bolts and enter the courtyard area, just use the Magma Cannon until you get the skill point in there.

All Balls:Kill 30 enemies without taking any damage.

I got this in "As the Wrench Turns" with only the Magma Cannon. Just spam it (hopefully you've gotten it upgraded by now) and keep a safe distance from enemies. I shot them before they had the chance to hit me.

The Run Away:Complete the challenge "Landstalker Stalkin'" without taking any damage to your Landstalker.

This is tough, but doable. When the challenge starts, hop out of the Landstalker and tackle this challenge on foot. Not much else to say here, just keep cranking the bolts and if you die, at least the bolts you've cranked are already cranked, so you don't need to redo them.

Far Far Away:Kill a Landstalker with the Fusion Rifle.

This means the killing shot on a Lanstalker needs to be done with a Fusion Rifle. In "Landstalker Stalkin'" is where I did this, just keep circling a landstalker and shooting it (you can use other weapons to take it's health down, then use the rifle to kill it).

Tea Cups:Destroy 5 Executioners with the Fusion Rifle.

There are five Executioners to be found in "As the Wrench Turns". They are all near nodes, so finding them isn't hard. This is a simple skill point, just kill them with the Fusion Rifle.

Shocking:Kill 10 DZ Berzserkers using the Shock Mod.

Berserkers can be found in "As the Wrench Turns". Equip a weapon with a shock mod and keep using it until you get this skill point.

Look Out Below:Complete the challenge "Whack-A-Swarmer" in less than 90 seconds.

In "Whack-A-Swarmer", you're given either a Magma Cannon or a B6-Obliterator and have to take out 181 swarmers before the time runs out. Basically, you run outside and then circle around the building as the swarmers drop. One or two shots should kill an entire group, so just keep moving in the circle to get them spawning quicker.

Blow Ships Up:Destroy 4 Dropships with the Arbiter.

This can be done in "Landstalker Stalkin", as there are about four dropships in there. First you'll need the Arbiter, then go on foot and destroy the dropships. Dropships are around each node, so you won't have any trouble finding them.

Locked and Loaded:Complete any challenge using only the Magma Cannon.

Very easy to get this on "Robots in a Barrel". Just select the Magma Cannon and only use it for the entire challenge (only eight rounds).

Lights Out:Deploy the EMP on five turrets in any challenge.

I got this while going for "The Run Away" as there are five turrets that need an EMP in "Landstalker Stalkin'".

This is really simple, just put the Napalm mod on the Arbiter and kill everything until you get this skill point.

Instead of commanding your bots to crank the bolts, do it yourself. Make sure you kill the enemies around the bolts before you attempt this.

The Electrical Socket:Kill 10 DZ Berserkers using the Shock Mod.

In "Labyrinth of Death", put the Shock Mod on the Arbiter and keep killing enemies until you get this.

Snooker:Kill 10 Bladeballs with the B6-Obliterator.

Get this in "Swarming the Gauntlet". The B6-Obliterator can be found after the first two blocked off walls, to the far left in the corner. Grab it and kill the hordes of bladeballs to get this skill point.

Counter Sniper:Kill five Executioners with the Fusion Rifle.

Get this while going for "Light Them Up" in "Node Overload".

Butter Up:Use the wrench to kill 15 Bladeballs.

Very easy to get on "Swarming the Gauntlet", since basically all the enemies are Bladeballs. Just use your wrench to kill 15 of them.

Toughen Up:Complete any challenge without using health crates.

You automatically get this on "Chains of Villainy", even if you use the health pads to heal the Landstalker.

Iron Skin:Complete any challenge without taking damage.

Simple, I got this while going for "The Electrical Socket" in "Labyrinth of Death". Use the Arbiter or Harbinger and shoot everything before it can hit you, remember to strafe and jump around to dodge bullets.

Light Them Up:Use the Shock Mod to kill 10 Executioners.

In "Node Overload", these are infinitely spawning, so equip the Shock Mod on the Fusion Rifle and farm them for this skill point.

Light Speed:Complete the challenge "Chains of Villainy" in less than 1:30.

My biggest tip: never stop moving. Hold down to charge the mortars all the time, and unload them on the objectives. If you don't stop moving this is so easy. Unlocks Lanstalker Talkin'.

Special Delivery:Destroy five Dropships.

In "Node Overload", dropships are almost unlimited. If not, there are more than five. Just make sure you destroy them before they fly off.

Half And Half:Kill 10 DZ Berserkers with two different weapons in 45 seconds.

This is extremely self-explanatory, DZ Berserkers are the regular soldiers in this level. Kill five with one weapon, five with the other (or any combo). I use the Magma Cannon for nine kills and Fusion Rifle for one.

Chilly Proposition:Complete any challenge using only the Magma Cannon and the Freeze Mod.

I did this on "Node Overload". I don't think I need to go into to much detail with this skill point. You CAN use your wrench for ammo and health crates, but I don't know about enemies.

Don't Be A Wimp:Complete any challenge on Exterminator Difficulty.

This isn't incredibly easy, but still pretty doable. Put the game on Exterminator difficulty and start the "Swarming the Gauntlet" challenge. Then just make your way through the challenge, getting 152 kills to finish.

Toggle Spoiler

The Disease:Keep five enemies brainwashed at once using the Brainwash Mod.

Start "Lost and Found", put the Brainwash Mod on the Magma Cannon and shoot the first pack of swarmers to instantly get this skill point.

Medieval Power:Use the Scorpion Flail to kill 50 enemies.

This is pretty simple. Equip the flail, it's a good thing to have the Shock Mod on it, and use it primarily in the first challenge (Lost and Found). If you manage to kill everyone with it, you should get this skill extremely quick. This unlocks Epic Flail.

Touchy Feely:Kill three Range Strikes with the wrench.

These guys are the ones with laser-pointers that snipe you. These are very apparent in "Lost and Found".

Invulnerable:Complete any challenge without taking damage.

Do this on "Lost and Found" and use the Magma Cannon (preferable at level 10+) with the Brainwash Mod, so the enemies won't be attacking you as much. Then just blow your way through the challenge, dodging bullets by jumping and strafing.

Fuselage:Kill five Dropships with the Fusion Rifle.

There are six in the challenge "Lost and Found", meaning this should be really easy. I did this when my Fusion Rifle was level 6, killing the dropships in two shots. Just make sure you take out the ships before they drive off. There's one in the beginning, a few in the middle of the challenge and three at the end before the hangar.

Schooled:Kill 30 Pincer Rays using the Hovership.

A few things I'm unsure of here. After trying so many times on "Space Ace", I would kill all Pincer Rays in sight (the flying enemies in the hovership challenges that appear dark-red on the mini-map). But, first try and killing much less, I used only the missiles on the hovership to kill the pincer rays, earning the skill point. These spawn in the middle of the map and are easy to find, just make sure to kill them with missiles. Unlocks Death From Above.

Healthy:Complete any challenge without using health crates.

Impossible not to get this on "Space Ace".

Mix And Match:Kill 9 different enemies with three different mods in 30 seconds.

I used a Magma Cannon with Freeze Mod, Dual Vipers with Shock Mod and another B6-Obliterator with Napalm Mod in the challenge "Power Up!".

Turret Syndrome:Kill 20 enemies using the Mini-turret Launcher.

You can very easily do this with a level one mini-turret launcher in "Power Up!". Just keep throwing them around. You should get this in the room with the two hacker orbs.

Chill Out:Use the Freeze Mod to kill 20 enemies in a row.

I put the Freeze Mod on my Magma Cannon at level 10 and went to town in "Lost and Found". The Magma Cannon is probably the best weapon for this skill point.

A Baker's Dozen:Kill 13 Cycloids with the same weapon.

Get this in "Let the Light Shine Through" with the Magma Cannon or any other weapon of your choice. Just remember that you can't switch weapons after using one. Cycloids are the flying bots in the air with tails and circular heads. There are four at the beginning of the challenge and the other nine can be found at the end.

Ring My Bell:Beat the "Time Extension?" challenge with at least 30 seconds of time remaining.

There's not much to say about this one, my first try I was able to get 1:16 left. Each time you pass through a ring, you get a few extra seconds. Just keep moving forward without stopping and you'll get this easily.

The Big Bang:Use the Arbiter to kill five enemies in one shot.

In "Lost and Found", you will get to a point where you are attacked by 10 swarmers. Just shoot one rocket from the Arbiter in there to get the skill point.

In A Row:Use the Fusion Rifle to kill two enemies in one attack.

I did this on "Let the Light Shine Through". Early in the challenge, you get to a part that has two Executioners standing side-by-side. Equip the Fusion Rifle with, preferably, the Freeze Mod and line up the Executioners. My Fusion Rifle was level 6 at the time, so it takes two shots to kill an Executioner. Anyway, go to the side of them and try to get them in a straight line. Then shoot once, they should both be frozen in place. Shoot again to pick up this easy skill point. Unlocks Line 'em Up.

Bombs Away:Kill 20 enemies using the Mini-bomb Mod.

Put the Mini-Bomb Mod on the B6-Obliterator. I was able to get this on "Let the Light Shine Through", just shooting bombs everywhere. The mini-bombs don't have to kill the enemy, as long as they die because of the gun that has the mod on it, it counts.

Toggle Spoiler

Frenzied:Morph five Laser Backs into animals.

You can easily get this in "The Turn On", as there are more than five Lazer Backs (scorpion-like things that fly in the air) in it. Put the Morph Mod on any weapon of your choice and do this.

Bits And Pieces:Use the B6 Obliterator to kill 20 DZ Strikers.

Simple enough to do in "The Turn On".

Hard Luck:Complete any challenge on Exterminator Difficulty.

Really really simple. Put the game on Exterminator difficulty and start "Seek and Destroy". Nothing can hurt you in this challenge except for driving into barrels.

Hard To Hit:Complete the "Seek and Destroy" challenge in 2:45.

This is very achievable, just keep driving the track until all are destroyed, you should be well under 2:45 by the time all 12 enemies are dead.

Unfair Game:Kill 15 enemies with three different mods in 40 seconds.

This is really self-explanatory.

Mined Out:Kill 30 enemies using the Hunter Mine Launcher.

No Help:Complete any challenge without using health crates.

In The Open:Destroy 10 barrels in any challenge.

There are plenty of these in "Seek and Destroy", just shoot them with the hoverbike.

Muniez:Find and break three Jackpot Crates.

In "The Turn On" you will find three jackpot crates. They are all in rooms after a magnetic wall that you can walk up. The first is when you start, go straight and left to the first crank. In that room, walk up the wall and break the crate. Then, a little while later after the second crank, you should find a bridge with two walls on either side of the start of the bridge (near the third crank) that you can walk up. Walk up both sides to get two more crates.

Stripped:Complete any challenge without using Omega mods.

Automatically unlocked after "Seek and Destroy".

I'm Melting:Kill 25 enemies with the Acid Mod.

Very easy to get in "The Turn On", just put the Acid Mod on any weapon of your choice.

Far Away From It All:Use the Fusion Rifle to kill 10 Executioners.

This is easy to do in "The Turn On" as there are 10 Executioners around all the bolt cranks. The only thing to remember though, is that you might need to explore a little to find the last two near the last bolt crank.

Quick Fix:Kill five Robot Zombies in 30 seconds with the wrench.

In the beginning of "Hoverbike or Bust", after destroying the first turret, there will be zombies that spawn. Just hit them with your wrench until they die. Your combat bots can kill them and it will still count towards the total as long as you were hitting them with your wrench.

I didn't die on any challenge, but this skill point didn't unlock until

Drop Dead:Destroy five Dropships.

You can easily get this in "Junking the Jammers". While you're in the Landstalker, just hold to charge the mortars, then release them on the dropships. Note that they actually have to be ships that drop off enemies, not just ones that shoot at you.

Strange Changes:Use the Morph Mod to morph 20 enemies.

Put the Morph Mod on the Magma Cannon and play "Energy Collector", then just keep shooting until you get the skill point.

Kill 'Em All:Kill 35 enemies without taking any damage.

I had this unlocked before ever even entering this planet. I believe these aren't tied to just Maraxus, which is why that happened. If this is just a glitch though, this is very doable in "Jail Break", and just unloading on everyone with the Magma Cannon.

Frenzy:Kill 15 Swarmers in 30 seconds.

I had this unlocked before ever even entering this planet. I believe these aren't tied to just Maraxus, which is why that happened. If this is just a glitch though, this is very doable in "Jail Break", and just unloading on the Swarmers in the beginning with the Magma Cannon.

Watch Your Step:Kill five enemies in a row using the Hunter Mine Launcher.

I had this unlocked before ever even entering this planet. I believe these aren't tied to just Maraxus, which is why that happened. If this is just a glitch though, this is very doable in "Jail Break", and just unloading on everyone with the Hunter Mine Launcher.

True Shot:Complete any challenge with an accuracy above 75 percent.

First things first, you NEED to kill every single enemy in the level to get this. I recommend using the Dual Vipers and the Fusion Rifle on "Jail Break", as it doesn't have too many enemies and is relatively short. I beat it without missing once, but I left enemies behind so I didn't get this skill point. You have to kill everything.

AA Assault:Kill three Reaper enemies in a row without taking damage.

There are more than three Reaper enemies in the beginning of "Jail Break". Reapers are the guys that shoot spikes from their backs. Just shoot them with the Magma Cannon before they have a chance to shoot them at you.

Speed Bumps:In the challenge "Total Control," "Roadkill" 10 enemies.

When you start, turn around and run over everyone there and by the node. This is an easy place to roadkill people. Unlocks Cat Scratch Fever.

Rapid-Fire:Kill 30 enemies in 30 seconds.

You can easily get this in the beginning of "Leave No Man Behind", just use the Magma Cannon and kill everything.

Modified:Use 8 different mods to kill 30 enemies.

Simple to do in "Jail Break". Use the Arbiter, and start with Napalm. Whenever you get a kill with a mod, just switch over to the next one (pause, go into Weapons and put the next mod on the Arbiter).

Chill Out:Use the Freeze Mod to freeze 10 enemies in a row.

Equip the Freeze Mod to the Magma Cannon and go crazy in "Jail Break".

Heatwave:Use the Napalm Mod to kill five enemies in a row.

In "Leave No Man Behind", at the beginning, put the Napalm Mod on the B6-Obliterator and kill five enemies. Easy peasy.

Executioners are around all of the nodes, or on the ways to them, so finding them is not an issue. Put the Mini-Bomb mod on the B6-Obliterator and kill the Executioners with it. It's easier (obviously) when the B6-Obliterator is at level 10 to do this.

Dead Last:Kill five Reaper enemies in a row.

Reapers are the enemies that shoot spikes out of their backs. Use the Fusion Rifle but make sure no mods are on it, then play "Jail Break". Snipe the Reapers out but be careful not to hit any swarmers or you won't get this skill point.

Pocket Rocket:Use the Arbiter to kill 15 enemies in a row.

In "No Man Left Behind" equip the Arbiter and kill everyone with it. When you run out of ammo, just go back to the vending station and buy more.

Fatal Frenzy:Kill 10 Swarmers in 20 seconds with the wrench.

Easy to do in "Jail Break" as there are loads of Swarmers in the beginning (small enemies with chompers).

Time Will Tell:Complete the "Speed Trap" challenge with more than 10 seconds remaining.

This is extremely easy. In this challenge, you need to drive through rings that give you extra time. You need to have at least 10 seconds left on the clock at the end. I managed to get 55 seconds, without crashing into barrels. Barrels act as barriers, blocking you from going off track. DO NOT HIT THESE. They slow you down and take a chunk of your health. You shouldn't have any problems with this skill point.

Toggle Spoiler

Mine Forever:Kill three Ghost Executioners with the Hunter Mine Launcher.

Somehow I had this unlocked already before I ever entered the planet. However, this is fairly easy to do in any challenge with the Executioners. Just kill them by unloading mine into their face.

Meltdown:Kill 10 Ghost DZ Strikers with the Acid Mod.

Really self-explanatory, just kill 10 Strikers with the Acid Mod. I did this in "Running the Gauntlet".

Friendly Fire:Your Combat Bots must gain 10 kills in any challenge.

I had this unlocked before I entered the planet, but this is extremely easy. You just have to do nothing. It helps to have your bots upgraded before attempting this to make it go by quicker.

No Landing:Destroy 10 Dropships.

Get this in "Running the Gauntlet". There is a little more than 10 Dropships in this challenge.

Death Is Near:Kill 15 enemies with five different mods in 60 seconds.

Equip 5 different guns with five different mods, just blast away in "Running the Gauntlet".

Double Trouble:Complete any challenge using only the Dual Vipers.

I did this in the first challenge with level 10 Dual Vipers (Dual Raptors) to make this much easier. This is straight forward though and doesn't need a lot more info.

Warming Up:Destroy 10 Ghost DZ Strikers with the Napalm Mod.

You can go for this while going for "Fodder Follies" if you put the Napalm Mod on the Arbiter.

Sharpshooter:Kill 20 enemies with the Fusion Rifle.

Very easy to get in "Running the Gauntlet", just pull out the Fusion Rifle and start killing until you get to 20.

The Great Escape:Complete any challenge without taking damage.

I was able to do this on "Prison Break". Equip the Arbiter, preferably at level 10 or higher, and put the Mini-Bomb Mod on it. Then, spam every single room with it until everyone is dead and keep jumping from side to side to avoid any gun-fire. The Arbiter kills in one to two shots, making it ideal for this, also it has a huge area of effect.

Too Hot to Handle:Use the Napalm Mod to kill 25 enemies in a row.

Easily obtainable in "Running the Gauntlet", just put the Napalm Mod on the Arbiter.

Fodder Follies:Kill 15 Ghost DZ Strikers in a row with the same weapon.

Do this in "Running the Gauntlet", and use the Arbiter. You have to only kill DZ Strikers, the regular troops in this challenge. You CAN NOT kill executioners or any other enemies while going for this skill point. Just keep running around killing only DZ Strikers with the Arbiter until you get this. Unlocks Selective Shooting.

No Medic Here:Complete any challenge without using health crates.

Automatically unlocks after "Escape".

Skill Kill:Use the Fusion Rifle to kill three enemies in one attack.

In "Running the Gauntlet", there's a part where a crate of about 10 bladeballs spawn out of. Just shoot once with the Fusion Rifle and hopefully you'll hit three of them.

Show me the Money:Destroy five bolt crates.

This is a little tough, I only know for sure where four crates are, the other should be destroyed during regular gameplay (use lots of explosives to help). In "Running the Gauntlet", there's a crate to the left of the starting point, behind a pillar. Keep going left and checking behind the pillars until you find it. Next, there's one that's attached to the wall in one of the bolt crank rooms. Another is on the island with the robot zombies, along the outer-rim of the area. The last one that I know of is during the last stretch of "Running the Gauntlet". When all bolts have been cranked, run down the pathway that opened up. When the path goes left, look behind an explosive barrel on the left side to find this in the corner. Unlocks Show Me The Money.

Put Em On Ice:Use the Freeze Mode to freeze 15 enemies in a row.

I did this when I went for "Double Trouble". Just put Freeze Mod on the Dual Vipers.

Line 'em UpEarn "In a Row" on Valix

In A Row: Use the Fusion Rifle to kill two enemies in one attack.

I did this on "Let the Light Shine Through". Early in the challenge, you get to a part that has two Executioners standing side-by-side. Equip the Fusion Rifle with, preferably, the Freeze Mod and line up the Executioners. My Fusion Rifle was level 6 at the time, so it takes two shots to kill an Executioner. Anyway, go to the side of them and try to get them in a straight line. Then shoot once, they should both be frozen in place. Shoot again to pick up this easy skill point.

Tri Me... I Dare Ya!Upgrade 3 Weapons to Level 10

Level 10 is the max level for a weapon without getting the mega version of that weapon.To level up a weapon, you simply need to kill enemies with it and gain XP. Levelling a weapon up to level 10 unlocks a very useful alpha mod and changes the name of the weapon. The first three weapons I upgraded to level 10 were the Magma Cannon, Dual Vipers and the Fusion Rifle, those three are my favorite weapons.

Show Me the MoneyEarn "Show Me The Money" on the Ghost Station

Show me the Money: Destroy five bolt crates.

This is a little tough, I only know for sure where four crates are, the other should be destroyed during regular gameplay (use lots of explosives to help). In "Running the Gauntlet", there's a crate to the left of the starting point, behind a pillar. Keep going left and checking behind the pillars until you find it. Next, there's one that's attached to the wall in one of the bolt crank rooms. Another is on the island with the robot zombies, along the outer-rim of the area.

Nano-tastic!Increase Nanotech to 50

50 nanotech is by no means the maximum. You can increase your max health by simply killing enemies for XP. You should be able to get this trophy well before the end of the game, depending on how many times you died. I still have 2-3 planets left when I got this, so it really isn't tough.

Epic FlailEarn Medieval Power in Valix

Medieval Power: Use the Scorpion Flail to kill 50 enemies.

This is pretty simple. Equip the flail, it's a good thing to have the Shock Mod on it, and use it primarily in the first challenge (Lost and Found). If you manage to kill everyone with it, you should get this skill extremely quick. Why this is a is beyond me.

Dome-minationEarn All Skill Points in the Dreadzone Battledome

Shock-KingEarn the 'Can't Hit Me' Skill on Kronos

I used the Fusion Rifle and just ran circles around the arena. Luckily, there were ammo crates around where I was running so I wouldn't run out of ammo with the Fusion Rifle, and I was able to take him down with only that. Be careful of the missiles that Shellshock shoots and also of the bouncing mines that he throws.

MeltdownEarn the 'Reactionary' Skill in the Battledome

Reactionary: Defeat Reactor in 30 seconds.

In 0:23 I was able to kill Reactor, using only the Fusion Rifle and Arbiter. It's a good idea to level these weapons up a bit (my Fusion Rifle was level 5 and Arbiter was level 3) so they can deal more damage. Equip whatever mods you feel comfortable with. Just never stop shooting and try to not miss with the Fusion Rifle or you'll lose crucial time.

Buggin' OutEarn the 'Eviscerator Raider' Skill in the Battledome

Eviscerator Raider: Defeat Eviscerator using only the Flail.

This is easier than you may think. When he just comes at you slashing, unload on him with the flail. Then he'll start shooting a laser beam. At this point is when you're gonna want to dodge him. Hit him when you can to make him move away and he'll repeat the process. You can be almost invincible while he is slashing at you if you just wail on him with the flail. His minions can be killed in one hit with a higher level flail, so don't worry about them too much.

Ace Gets ClubbedEarn the 'Ace In The Hole' Skill in the Battledome

Ace In The Hole: Defeat Ace Hardlight without taking any damage.

Needless to say, this is extremely difficult. When you start, throw a holoshield in front of you, this blocks his blaster shots from hitting you. Then lay into him with the Dual Vipers until he turns his shield on and spawns clones. Throw another shield in front of you, and equip the Magma Cannon to do damage to all of the clones and Ace himself. When the clones go away, go back to the Dual Vipers. He'll shoot a missile-like thing that follows you, and now is when you'll want to strafe around the arena non-stop. Take his health down with the vipers, then he'll get his clones back in. Just use the Magma Cannon to kill them all, and now use either the Dual Vipers or the Arbiter. Keep strafing around the arena and jumping Ace's blaster shots or using a shield and dodging the tracking missile. Eventually, you'll take his health down fully and unlock this skill point.

RookieEarn "I Dare Ya!" on Catacrom Four

I Dare Ya!: Complete any challenge without healing.

There's a simple way to do this. In On the Prowl, crank all of the nodes. Then, die. When you respawn, the nodes will still be cranked and you'll have a clear path to the objective. Just run to the swing shot areas and swing over to the Landstalker, running past all of the enemies and without grabbing any health crates.

Skill Points are Blooming!Earn 60 Skill Points

There is a total of 165 skill points in Ratchet: Deadlocked. If you are really efficient and earn every single one in each planet before moving on, you'll get this after finishing Kronos. However I don't recommend that and I don't even think it's possible. Getting them as I went along, I managed to unlock this trophy in Orxon.

Runway RobotsEarn 'Dead Again' in Battledome

Dead Again: In the challenge "Zombie Attack," kills 50 Robot Zombies.

In "Zombie Attack", you have to survive for three minutes against a zombie horde. It is hard to miss this, as I managed to get this skill with 45 seconds to spare. They come in groups of two or three, I liked to keep the Magma Cannon handy at all times as it can blow through a group in one shot.

Going Nowhere FastEarn 50,000 Dread Points

You earn Dread Points by completing Dread Challenges. Dread Challenges are unlocked after finishing a planet's campaign. Some challenges net you more than others. You can tell how many you have on the planet select screen. This trophy should be unlocked around Shaar, assuming you've been completing all Dread Challenges prior.

Selective ShootingEarn the 'Fodder Follies' Skill on the Ghost Station

Fodder Follies: Kill 15 Ghost DZ Strikers in a row with the same weapon.

Do this in "Running the Gauntlet", and use the Arbiter. You have to only kill DZ Strikers, the regular troops in this challenge. You CAN NOT kill executioners or any other enemies while going for this skill point. Just keep running around killing only DZ Strikers with the Arbiter until you get this.

SpotlessEarn the 'Not a Scratch' Skill on Planet Torval

Death from AboveEarn the 'Schooled' Skill on the Valix Belt

Schooled: Kill 30 Pincer Rays using the Hovership.

A few things I'm unsure of here. After trying so many times on "Space Ace", I would kill all Pincer Rays in sight (the flying enemies in the hovership challenges that appear dark-red on the mini-map). But, first try and killing much less, I used only the missiles on the hovership to kill the pincer rays, earning the skill point. These spawn in the middle of the map and are easy to find, just make sure to kill them with missiles.
